Nice and private Owner was not accomodating - we requested a rollaway bed as advertised - she refused then finally gave in after 20 minutes after having to ring her husband we payed $200 cash only to find out Expedia had already taken out the $140 as booked - I requested the money back - she reluctantly gave me $140 so effectively the child’s rollaway bed cost us $60 extra and we had to make it ourselves - very disappointing behaviour from the owner after knowing we were attending the local communities wife’s funeral

The property was unique in the way that we felt completely relaxed and comfortable there. The new owners were onsite and very helpful. We even had a choice of pillows. The kitchen pavilion and is for guests to use. It was clean, well equipped and had a lovely area to sit. The chalets are very private set in lovely gardens. Huge king bed, good facilities, everything we needed. We’re fussy people, very happy chappies!

Absolutely fantastic! This was our first stay on a two month adventure around New Zealand and I definitely want to come back. Linda, our hostess, is a joy-filled soul and she made us feel more than welcomed. The chalet is in a picturesque location. Exceptionally clean, fast wifi, very big king bed, crisp white sheets, mini fridge in the room with cold bottle of water. I loved the little private outdoor garden/dining area right off of the room - very romantic. The beach kitchen is ideal - everything you need to make a meal or simply sit and relax and enjoy the beautiful weather. The chalets are surrounded by wild rosemary, lavender, fruit trees - stunning. Easy 2 minute walk to local grocery store and restaurants (Mean Burger food truck makes the best burger!). And Linda is always around to help you. We are from NYC and I would make the long trip back to New Zealand simply to stay here again!

A lovely jewel for 1 or several nights stay
Everything was great, the only caveat would be no air conditioning. Had we been there on a hot evening it would have been an issue. A ceiling fan would have made a big difference. It's possible, having just arrived from Canada, where the temperature was -15C, this might have affected our "heat tolerance". Having an outside kitchen, with BBQ and full sized cook top, made making a home cooked meal oh so possible. When traveling and wanting to avoid eating in restaurants every night, this to us is a big deal. The hosts are so friendly, and made you feel right at home Thanks so much.
